What visa options are available for moving to Thailand as the spouse of a Thai citizen?

@Mike *******

Tod would know this, but after you get the first 1 year extension based off of marriage (with 400k baht banked)... if you can show that you had an INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER of equal to or greater than baht from abroad into A THAI BANK every month for the previous 12 months, then you don't have to have the 400k banked for the SECOND (and further) 12 month extension. Is this correct

@Tod ********

?

@Mike *******

, you may be referring 1-year extension (apply for at the local immigration office) based on a marriage to a Thai female. Tod is mentioning a multiple entry Non-O visa for the same reason that you have to apply at the Thai embassy/consulate outside Thailand. Those are different.

You need funds in your Thai bank account to apply for a 1-year extension based on marriage at the local immigration office.

Funds requirements vary by embassy or consulate for a multiple entry Non-O visa.

there are not, 🙂 (or there might be but I'm not gonna list every permutation for you) 😮

You said you're moving here, you said you're married to a thai and you asked for options.

Just so you know, we usually don't let posts on the group which we term "visa fishing" <- asking what visa will work 😕 I let this on because you were asking about a visa based on marriage.

You might look into getting a 6 month METV <- multi-entry tourist visa, which would give you 60 day entry stamps for the 6 months the visa is valid for. You'd have to bounce out and back every 60 days to get a new 60 day entry stamp.. BUT you can get almost 9 months of stay out of it. That'd let you look for other long term visa options.
